Mr.. Lowrey's Opinions.

To the Editor OF The Leader.
RAwHIDE BUTTEs, Wyo., Feb. 7,lSS7.
Mn. EDIToR:-Not that what | have
written is a complete account of Wyo-
ming or by any means necessarily accur-
ate-thc circumstances and limitations
under which my opinions were expressed
are detailed with clearness in the body of
each letter-but | venture to predict that
every fair-mindej newspaper man who
may have been led to call these utterances
not knowing their purport-falsehoods
and their author above credence, will in
view of the facts and in the course of
events, feel himself compromised thereby.
Some of my reasons for this opinion
are implied in wha. follows: (l). The
popular cry at present in the East is
'~'prohiblt %monopolies, down with SUBJ
sides, away with special privileges for
the sake OF developing the country and
of bestirring rustlers''-in the eyes o fthe
average farmer, embryonic monopolists-
give the undeveloped West a rest and
let us have a chance This is the gem
eral pulse and legislation quickly re-
spends.
1t is further certain that the states can
inforce this sentiment by discriminating
legislation at present against the t%erritor-
les with impunity. The prevailing con-
science among our lawmakers at Wash
ington is duty to constituents, not to the
country at large.
Now to the point. The low price of
beef has produced grim faces even among
ranchmen. 1t has produced far greater
distress in the East, where cattle are fed.
For a long time the farmer has looked
with a Jealous eye upon his Western COM
petitor; he has complained that his small
profits were due to the governments I'M
Just discrimination in granting free pas
turage to Western stockmen. They de-
mainland now with more vehemence
than ever-that the government shall
make it unlawful and a trespass to use
public domain at all for these purposes.
The order to remove all fences is the first
step. The attempted legislation to repeal
the land acts is another. 1t only needs
that congress again reach the land ques-
ton to set this infammable material
ablaze; and whether constitutional or not,
as with the oleomargarine bill, pass such
measures with a rush.
Citizens OF Wyoming should drown
their petty jealousies and recriminations
of cattlemen, both great and small, and
of irrigating farmers, among themselves
to avert this danger to their mutual inter-
ests. They are helpless save through the
press. Such legislation can be hindered
only by showing the people plainly that
that they have a peculiar country and
conditions to contend with to which past
land Legislation is not applicable. and
never can be. In this way alone can they
appeal to the fair minded legislator and
cool the d~emagogism that is too selfish to
think of anything but local interests.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES f. LowREY.

WINTER NOTES.
Common Occurrences in and About
the City.
Matters of Minor Importance
Hastily Gathered.

Alarge number of ~Cheyenneites went
to Denver yesterday.
One case occupied all the time of the
district court yesterday.
The Sons of Veterans lodge OF this city
held a well attended meeting at Keete's
hall last evening.
The Mother Goose festival prom
ises to eclipse anything of the kind ever
presented in Cheyenne.
The attendance a. the cattlemen's con-
%vention in Denver this year is larger than
at any meeting held heretofore.
This division OF the Union Pacific is to
receive an entire change of controlling of
6cials on the 18th of this month.
The jury in the case of the United
States VS.. Chas. w. Wright brought in a
verdict for the plaintiff yesterday.
James Burgis, the man who was nearly
killed on the Cheyenne & Northern, Tues
day. was still living, at the hospital, at
last accounts last evening.
Don't forget the geese and goslings at
Keefe's hall on Friday evening. The
novelty of the entertainment is very
striking and original. A rare nights
amusement is certainly in store for those
who attend.
THE LEADER acknowledges an invita-
ton to attend a series of balls to be given
by the Ashlar Lodge, Gu. d. Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons. of Douglas,
Wyoming, from Mr.. +. H.. Kimball, of
the Rovdy West. The balls will be given
on the evenings of Feb. 4, March 4 and
March %.
Mrs. Pearce, music teacher, has a little
son 4 years old boarding with Mr..
Wheeler on the ranch of. Y. Cowhick,
a little over two miles from town. On
Monday last the little fellow concluded to
visit his mother, and without notice to
anybody, without overcoat, and one white
and one blue mitten and cap on wrong
side out, he came to town, and with a lit
tie assistance from a lady, found his
mother residence. Quite an adventure
for so young a child.

A PLACE.
The Finest Saloon In the West TO be
Opened Tonight.

Many have noticed that continuous la
Dor, both night and day, has been in
progress in fitting up a handsome sa-
loon on Ferguson street. between Six
tenth and Seventeenth streets, for the
past few weeks. This magnificent estab-
lishm ent is owned by the ever popular
firm of Austin & Rollins, two better
known men not living in this vicinity.
Upon entering the establishment, one is
confronted with a display of art which
dazzles the eye for the moment, the
beautiful bar and fixtures and the magni-
icent finishing of the place making it
look like the richest OF palaces. This
place has been fitted up by the proprie-
tors at a cost not less than $4,000, and
is truly deserving of the name of a pal
ace. The house will be formally opened
this evening, and all the old friends OF
the proprietors will receive a hearty well
come. MI. AL. Dunlay, the popular bar
tender, will o%ficiate behind the bar.
Everything in conn ection with the estab-
lishment will be in operation this even
ing, and no one should fail to be present
at the opening of this veritable palace of
the West.

In Germany the boar hunt occurs an
nually. Trained hounds are held in leash
until the lair of the bears is shifted and
then they are let go. Off rush the brist-
ling beasts They run fast, and the
faster they skip along the wider and
''madder" they get. Sometimes they
are shot, but the correct style of killing
is to use a long spear or a short sword
like knife. The hunter spies his boarship
speeding along in an almost straight line
blinded with rage and ferocity. Bend
ing sideways to the earth the sportsman
thrusts his spear dull end downward in
the soil and the sharp point slanting up
ward and turned directly to the boar's
path. Straight on the wild boar rushes
and with all the impetus of his long
flight plunges upon the spear point. and
there impaled, dies Il bloody death.
Although 10 bears are found among
the wild animals of the United States,
naturalists have no fear that they cannot
live in this climate and will thrive. The
ordinary hog if allowed to run wild will
become savage in three generations, and
both the newly imported boars and any
farmers pigs belong to the same family.

Numerous instances have been recorded
Of late in the medical journals of the
complete reunion of portions of fingers
which had been cut off from the hand,
in some cases by the knife and in others
by the an. In n case a man, in cutting
kindlings for the morning fire. acct
dentahy cut off the end of his thumb.
He had gone from the place some twenty
feet, when he returned, picked up the
end, wiped it and replaced it, binding it
in its original place as nearly as possible.
The wound united, and the finger is now
as good as ever, ave that its sensibility is
somewhat diminished. In another case
a boy chopped off the ends of three
fingers. He was seen by a physician
three or four hours after the accident.
The ends OF the fingers had been found
in the snow, and Were brought to him.

Information has been received in this
city of the death of Daniel Lucid in Salt

here he was employed most ofhis time on

of the best players in the Chey-
enne Base Ball club. The young
man had a host of friends in this
city who will much regret his death. His
brother, Con. Lucid, is at present in

The cathedral pulpit is quite Il wonder
full work Of art. 1t is all of wood elabor-
ately carved. Four female figures, life
size support the pulpit proper. These
represent the four races, white, red.
black and yellow, supporting the Gospel.
The railing to the pulpit stairs is sur
mounted with a series of animals, mostly
birds, representing the vices. Their
meaning is not at first apparent, and the
effect, to me, was so lacking in dignity
MS to be almost ludicrous. These figures,
too. are of life size, and the series com-
mences with II Growing cock. and ends
with IA bushy tailed squirrel. The csrv-

A BIG LAWSUIT
Recently Decided in tho Grsenbrlor Circuit Ct

Recently Decided In the GrecnbrIor Circuit
Court.
There was recently concluded in the
Circuit Court Of Greenbrier county very
interesting case. The suit was that Of
jarrett vs.. keeney, and involved come
$4,000 in money and $4,000 worth Of
property, and was settled in favor Of
Keeney. Tho story Of the case briefly
told IL 40 follows: Samuel jarrett was a
wealthy old bachelor who used to live in
Greenbrier county. He was an eccentric
character, and refused to asnocists with
his relatives; in fact they know but little
OF him. John keeney aud vile lived on
jarett'a farm, aud, It seems, managed his
affairs. They took care OF him in his old
age, and in his last years did all for him
that could be done. 4 year or ego jar.
rett died and willed ali OF bis fortune 10
keeuoy and his vile. Iarrett's relatives
contested the will on tho ground that de-
ceased was insane when he wrote his will.
Eminent counsel wss employed on each
eide. Some two hundred witBeeses we're
examined, and the case took up two
weeks for trial. BY tho decision Mr..
heeney comes into possession OF one OF
tho finest farms in the State, comprising
about 1 600 acres, besides other properties,
.end $4,000 10 cash. The evidence in the
case was go largely in favor OF the will
that the ccntestsnts will not tsko It to tho
Supreme Court.
